A $40,000 fine !!!
SHocking has flogged his old side with a wet lettuce leaf.
Who held various administrative roles at the Cats over this tenure? Steve Hocking of course.

Geelong's Steve Hocking appointed AFL's football operations boss
The AFL announces Geelong's Steve Hocking will be its new head of football operations, replacing Simon Lethlean, who resigned over an affair with a younger female staff member.

Just a little ‘administrative error’ eh. Ah 8 years of overpaying on the salary cap aha aha. No worries cats.
How about this pathetic headline on afl.com.au?
Cats cop massive whack for Total Player Payment breach
Geelong receives a huge financial sanction after an administrative blunder
$40,000 is massive? Are we really supposed to believe that?
Furthermore, the article is wafer-thin on detail.
Show us the nature of the breach, AFL. Otherwise it looks like you're trying to control the message, as usual. And that normally means something fishy.

Exactly what I thought when they mentioned 8 yrs.... I said from the first time I heard Hocking interviewed after his AFL appointment that he wasn't up to it.Who held various administrative roles at the Cats over this tenure? Steve Hocking of course.

Some poor shitkicker will be taking the fall for him down at the cattery no doubt!

Bang on ToOts great observation
Or Gazzas retirement fund.
Maybe they can be punished by sending Josh Jenkins back to the Camrys, that'd be a 2 for 1 win.

Meanwhile at AFL HQ in the luxurious penthouse suite's third bedroom a sweaty Gill and Steve are sharing 0.5 grams of weed.
Steve: So Gill my dear?
Gill: Yes Steve?
Steve: Remember when I was in charge down at the Cats?
Gill: No. Wait. What? They *smile*' had you in charge?
Steve: Oh yes. The glory days I call it.
Gill: Glory days? Sounds like fun.
Steve: Oh yes. The fun we had. The mad Mondays, the mad Tuesdays, the Bum Wednesdays. All week it lasted.
Gill: Erm... When did you last get a check at the clinic?
Steve: Clinic? Wha!!!!?! *looks puzzled*
Gill: Nevermind - I think I am due a visit. One of the polo ponies is looking a bit distressed right now. Perhaps this weekend.. Anyway - You were saying?
Steve: Oh yes. Well...
Gill: Well?
Steve: Well... When I was managing the place it appears we may have slightly overpaid a few of our players.
Gill: What? Overpaid? And what does "slightly" mean?
Steve: Well... Its obviously just an *rabbit ears* administrative error...
Gill: And....?
Steve: It runs to about $125k. But we're still doing the sums.
Gill: For how long.
Steve: Oh just a short while... *mumbles* 8 years.
Gill: What? Speak up!
Steve: 8 years.
Gill: 8 years? So about $15k per year. That wouldn't even cover the cost of Scotty's ping-pong ball habit. Don't worry about it. We'll just sweep it under the rug as a rounding error and everything will be fine.
Steve: Ummmmm....
Gill: What??????????
Steve: *Speaking very quickly* It's $125k per year for 8 years. We estimate. Might be more. We only just noticed.
Gill: For *smile* sake!!! Who did you contract to do the books? *smile* Geoffrey Eddlestone's accountant?
Steve: I....
Gill: *smile*! Ok. Here's how we play it.... The Cats have self-reported an admin error. We'll fine them - Oh I don't know... how much is our Ganja bill for the year?
Steve: $38k for last year.
Gill: Ok. We'll fine them $40k and report it on a Thursday evening. Thank *smile* the corona virus thing is filling the front pages. The media will forget it by Friday.
Steve: Thanks Gill.
Gill: Oh Don't thank me. I'm only thinking of the Cats and my reputation. You will pay.
Steve: Pay? How?
Gill: Get the handcuffs and the ball gag.
Steve: *dejected* Ooookayyyy...
